About this listing

A COMFY, SPOTLESS SINGLE ROOM in Fulham, easily accessible from all major airports and close to museums and shops. The room is ideal for the solo traveller; it has plenty of hanging and drawer space for all your clothes and luggage.

Your room also has a computer table and chair, so that you can work privately.

The flat is entirely pet-free, non-smoking and situated in a quiet location. It was originally built in 1899 and is a classic London Victorian tenement flat.

Guest Access

You have use of the bathroom, kitchen and living room.

Breakfast is not provided, but there is a wide variety of teas and coffees for you to help yourself.

There are lots of great local cafe's and supermarkets only a street away - please look at the neighbourhood guide on my listing - and there is exclusive space for your use in the fridge and kitchen cupboards for you to store your own food.

Interaction with Guests

I will provide you with a quick orientation and talk you through London and local attractions on arrival - depending on how new you are to London. After that I'm happy to chat as little or as much as you like.

During weekdays I am at work so you have the flat to yourself and sometimes I'm away at weekends. My flat suits the independent solo traveller who is looking for a quiet home away from home.

The Neighborhood

Fulham is vibrant and has a village atmosphere with excellent transport links. Location-wise the flat is in an upmarket area in Zone 2. The area is quiet and extremely safe part of London. The river Thames is within a short walking distance, and provides a magical respite from the busy city. Fulham is a great location for traditional English pubs, local theatres and restaurants.

Getting Around

Fulham Broadway is the closest tube. Hammersmith is also close and is the tube station for Heathrow.

All tube stations can be reached by a five minute bus journey, or a 15 minute walk.

From outside the flat there are a wide variety of bus routes to all the top sightseeing and shopping spots such as Kings Road, Westminster, the South Bank, plus South Kensington and all the main museums.

Top travel tip 1: Get a London Oyster card. Top it up with £10. This will get you to the flat via London train, tube or bus.

Cycles for hire: Right outside the flat is London's Cycle Hire scheme, ideal for a short cycle down to river, exploring locally, or venturing into the heart of London. I have lots of cycle guides for your use.

TRAVEL TIMES TO MY FLAT

Travel times from main London transport hubs to my flat are approximately as follows:

This is because I work during the day. However, I can be flexible on the morning check-out, and at weekends for both check-in and check-out.

I operate a 'one and one out' guest policy so that my guests can enjoy their exclusive time in my flat. I like to ensure that guests are not interrupted by a new guest arriving or wanting access to the flat to leave their luggage, use the facilities, or take the door keys, before the outgoing guest is ready.

Antonia was a wonderful host, and I had a lovely stay at her place. She was also incredibly helpful in suggesting ways to get around and has a wealth of information for people visiting London. Her place is extremely comfortable, and located close to a number of restaurants, cafes and grocery stores, and it is very easy to get to central London from there. Overall, a fantastic stay!

I loved the decor and quality of Antonia's place - the roman blinds, the mini chandeliers, the plush bath towel, how functional the bedroom was, etc. She was a thorough, detail-oriented, and warm host. The extensive house manual/ guidebook was helpful. Also, I liked having access to a washing machine. I wished I could've stayed longer.

Antonia is an amazing host. In fact, if there were host levels, Antonia would be considered a super host.

Her flat is located a few minutes and within walking distance of Fulham Broadway station, and there's a bus stop right around the corner that connects you to everywhere. Plus, there's a rental bike station a few feet from her flat, too. You can also easily walk to the river.

While the room is a bit small, it's perfect for one person and Antonia provides everything you could need - EVERYTHING. From a good functioning hairdryer, to towels, toiletries, fridge and cupboard space.

Even though I left a few days earlier, after cutting my London trip short, I have nothing but praise for this AirBnB experience.

Antonia is full of tips and advice - for your trip, info about the area, where to eat, places to avoid, etc etc. I found them really useful (ask her about taking the bus instead of the tube - top tip!).

I also loved that her space is not in a tourist area so you can get a good feel for the community and ordinary Britons' lives.

One thing - Antonia gives a lot of info in her confirmation emails but one thing to note is the check in and check out times, I think both are generally earlier/later than most (9am check out and 6pm check in). But Antonia does explain this thoroughly in the posting.

The flat was good for me. She had send to me about her emergency situation in advance. I could feel her thoughtful consideration. Her friend had informed about good places around there etc.
Interesting thing is there is a book about everything. I think antonia is very organized person. Thanks for everythings.

Very well organised introduction to the flat and Fulham vicinity. Antonia gets a thumb-up for her manual, esp. the "8 places NOT to go in London" section ;)
The flat is not just round the corner for West End and major touristy attractions, but public transport is close, and the area itself is a curious neighbourhood to explore for those who is not in London for the first time. Plenty of really nice local places to eat, too. Plum cafe is great for breakfasts!

My first experience with airbnb was unique, interesting and of course valuable. I had a wonderful stay, everything just as described, and I would definitely recommend you to try al least once , just for the experience and if you don't be satisfied, just don't do it again!
